Women lag in AI job market, missing out on $100K salary gap

A recent LinkedIn analysis reveals a significant gender gap in AI-related employment, with women comprising only 26% of hires in AI-skilled jobs in the U.S. last year, a stark contrast to their 50% representation in non-AI roles. This disparity extends to higher-paying positions, where women hold a disproportionately small percentage of C-suite and leadership roles within AI companies. The report suggests that while AI presents substantial career growth and economic opportunities, women are not equally benefiting, potentially missing out on an average salary difference of $100,000 compared to their male counterparts in AI-focused positions.
